I love the:
- price
- handling
- ride
- roominess
- steering wheel
- exterior styling!
- interior styling
- cool headlights and foglights
- wheels and tires
- stereo
- roof rack
- the colors
- fun-to-drive factor!
- antenna
- rear spoiler
- utility and cargo space
- outward visibility
- did i mention styling and handling?
- overall bang for the buck for what you get

I hate the:
- lack of power (but this is to be expected based on the package)
- cupholders
- stereo power and speakers
- small, flimsy rearview mirror
- rear defog button (should auto-off)
- climate control (why does the air conditioner come on on all but the last two settings?)
- gas mileage
- noisy roof rack
- noisy sunroof (when opened)
- high and wallowy shifter
- no DVD nav option
- lack of proven mods
- the way the car sounds at idle

I love the styleing, both in and out. The price, the ammount of standard features, the handleing, and seating/cargo space. I've accualy used the car to it's full ablity! I've had 5 people in it before..hawled mattress on top on the roof rack, had the seats folded down for extra cargo space, and the car is very versitle. Love it.

Pros:
-Tight steering feel
-Strong 4-wheel disc brakes with good pedal feedback
-Properly Spaced Pedals (Heel/toe, i.e. revmatching)
-Gas Mileage
-Cruise Control
-Good factory tires
-Very Useable Headlight/Foglight combo
-Great looking interior
-Decent Stock Stereo
-Overall utility of design
-Firm, but not harsh, suspension
-Overall fun driving experience
-Gets alot of (good) attention

Cons:
-Clutch is too light
-Wind noise at ~80 MPH (Not bad though...)
-Valve-train sounds on cold start
-Rear License plate holder

That's about it. It's fun to drive, and comes with a lot of bang for the buck!
What was really surprising was that it handled better than the other "performance" econo-cars that I test drove in comparison (Sentra Se-R, Focus ZX3, Subaru 2.5rs and a VW Jetta GLS). I competed in the S.C.C.A. for 1 1/2 years autocrossing a 1990 Protege LX 1.8 in class D-street prepared, and the PR5 feels like a more streetable version of that car. Great car!

Nice looking, fun, and reliable daily driver.

 

[TreFlip999]

6 years..holy F***.....I love pretending its fast and letting everyone assume its fast, with the right exhaust set up you can turn heads

Reliable? Nah....

 

[DubbyDoo]

i love the "head" room

 

[Valk]

I love; The handling..for my first car it is really responsive.very easy to drive... very light but solid. The extra room id not have had i baught a honda. split folding seats ftw. The overall look of the car. cute but aggressive.

i hate; the fishing pole... never realy paid much attention to it until i read it likes to smack windows <_<. front posts...have to move my head to see around them at times which is kinda awkward... center post... have to look extra hard over my shoulder. The fact mine is auto =( but i still drive the piss out of it =)
